Congratulations on all of this, Heather! Incredible accomplishments!

I loved reading both the essays you linked here; remembering all the post divorce firsts took me back. I was lucky enough to have a dear friend a few years in front of me, reassuring me with a, "Yep, you're doing it right." after every odd feeling and weird first's visceral reaction in my body.

The week off sounds so delicious, good for you!

Thanks so much, Jayne! And I so wish I had a friend like you had at the beginning of my divorce. I felt pretty alone, which is maybe why I write about divorce...to help others feel less alone!

You are on fiyah! I knew this, but it was cool to see all your recent pubs lined up like this. Thanks for the shoutout and for doing the interview. Love to hear this message about taking a break...a full break - I agree that it's sometimes necessary and helpful.

Thank you! It was fun to line up this month's pubs like that. Good confidence boost for me, I have to admit. ;-) And I'm all about breaks. I'm much more productive when I come back from them.
